Can't sleep. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I can't sleep.

Tilt your head up and stare blankly at the starry night sky.

Deep, quiet autumn night sky.

It's beautiful.

The last time I watched such a beautiful night view with Lacey was a year ago.

In Kesir, Balkuw's garden.

I ...... that day Resita ......

Now......

Les...... Alas.

I'm really useless, the masked man who was obviously expecting appeared, and he couldn't kill him.

I want to avenge you.

Avenge you.

It's true......

I'm sorry.

Now, Lacey, you say,

- Who are those masked people? Why protect me? What exactly are they doing?

I don't know, I don't know anything.

It's useless.

Now it just feels as if they are being manipulated, manipulated by that sharp flute.

I don't know about the rest.

Lacey, if you were by my side...... How nice it would be that you're so smart that you must see blind spots that we can't notice, right?

Les...... I miss you so much.

I really miss you.

I want to see you, I want you to be by my side.

Think...... Talk to you.

I want to talk to you about my heart.

I want to ...... with you

Well-

That one...... Don't be angry!

Kindness...... Well......

I feel, I feel, I feel......

That Asa,

I feel like I have a big place in my heart.

However, you are definitely not as important to me as Lacey!

Mmmm, no, no, no!

It's really not what you think!

It's just, it's just, it's just that today he's for me,

He's ...... for me He's ...... for me

And...... And...... And I'm still ......

I almost kissed him.

It's really nothing!

I really didn't, I really didn't...... It's really nothing......

I...... So is it right?

Kindness...... Lacey, am I good or bad?

"Now, Sakura. Did you sleep? Asa, who was sleeping on the side, suddenly spoke, interrupting my thoughts

"Huh?" I don't feel like I'm flustered.

- He doesn't know what people were thinking, does he?

"One last question! About Taoism. ”

"What?" I was secretly relieved.

Fortunately not, scared to death.

"Can you unleash ice flames?"

"Ice Flame? What Ice Flame? - Ahh You're talking about the kind that Ice Dragon King Ureekatas spat out? ”

"Yes."

"No, it won't."

"That'...... Will there be a Taoist magician? ”

"I don't know! However, according to the theory of Taoism, if you can find the connection between the transformation of ice and fire, you may be able to release it, but I think it ...... It should be hard, right? There is too little connection between ice and fire. ”

"Oh."

"Asa, why do you ask this?"

"It's nothing, I'm sleeping." Asa stopped talking, and it wasn't long before he let out a slight snoring sound.

It's weird.

- The Ice Dragon King Ureekatas, one of the only five remaining ancient dragons in the world, has not been seen for hundreds of years in the depths of the distant mountains of the North Ridge. Legend has it that the ice flames it spewed were azure flames that could freeze everything and scorch it at the same time.

It's just a legend, think about it carefully, it has to be frozen and burned, how can one cold and one hot exist at the same time?

In addition, it has not appeared for hundreds of years, and I don't know if there is really such a dragon!

So - why is Asa interested in this?

And listening to Asa's tone just now, it seems to be a very important thing.

Feeling a little curious.

But this bastard Asa obviously didn't want to say-

Never mind.

If you don't want to say it, forget it!

Yes! Don't care too much about this perversion! It's not for the sake of beautiful women.

Well! Yes, it must be for the beauty again.

Perverted!

He's just a pervert.

Don't worry about him.

If you care too much about him,

Maybe......

――Are you really going to like this pervert?!

Yes! It's disgusting!

What am I thinking about?!

Go to bed!

Don't want to!

Sleep, sleep, sleep!

Alas, the heart is so confused......

…… Na, Lacey,

If you were alive,

How nice would it be......

。。。。。。。。。。。。

"That's all for Mr. Asa!" Priest Marcus bowed his head and saluted Asa, "Thank you for taking care of you along the way, I'll go and settle these children now." ”

After two days of traveling, I, Asa, Priest Marcus, and the group of children finally set foot on the land that belonged to the cathedral.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the towering golden spire of Sophia Cathedral can already be seen in the distance.

"Mr. Marcus, aren't you taking them to the orphanage?" I couldn't help but ask.

Along the way, Marcus, who woke up, thanked us for our rescue, but was always hostile to me, and he didn't even want the kids to talk to me. I always felt that if it weren't for Asa's bishopric status, he would probably refuse to follow us.

"Sakura, don't be angry! This Marcus is a Mona--Mona sect of religion is a fanatic, and rejects all non-church people, even if Sakura doesn't say that he is a Taoist, but the abnormal magic emitted from his body is enough to disgust him--if it weren't for me, the bishop, maybe Marcus would have arrested you as a heretic! Asa had told me so secretly.

Sure enough, Marcus didn't even look at me.

"Well...... Marcus, shouldn't the child be taken to the orphanage? Seeing that he didn't speak, Asa had to ask for me.

"I'm going to take them to our new Mona school – they'll be better taken care of there."

"Oh! - Then you can go! ”

"Yes!" With that, Marcus left with the group of children without looking back.

"It's annoying!" Looking at the back of Marcus and the children, I couldn't help but complain, "They saved them!" ――You didn't even say a word of thanks, and you ignored me! ”

"Alright! Sakura, didn't you hear Marcus? 'Everything is God's guidance' - you will come to his rescue, but it is God's arrangement! Asa couldn't help laughing.

"Woo! Where can it be so simple......"

"But that's what they all think! -- All afflictions are God's tests; All happiness is a gift from God; All encounters are also God's guidance. ”

“…… So what is it that people work so hard to save them? "I continued to complain with dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you say that? God's arrangement! ”

"But he's a Taoist master! It's not their church! ”

"Sakura!" Asa suddenly and cautiously called my name.

"Huh?"

"Now that we're in the Church's territory, we'd better be careful—don't mention Taoism!"

"Huh? Oh! I nodded knowingly.

Yes, since the death of the mild old pope, the church has given the impression that it has become more and more repulsive to other non-churchers, and to conduct heresy trials at every turn - if my identity as a Taoist is known to those fanatics, I will definitely be treated as a heretic who needs to be judged - I really don't understand what they are doing so rejecting outsiders, it's really annoying.

When I was a child, my father, who had the title of "Paladin", did not bring me to the cathedral to receive blessings.

It is said that it is because of my ancestry - from my mother's Oriental ancestry.

And my long black hair, which is far different from that of mainlanders.

So I was rejected before I even set foot on church ground.

Although the church later became moderate under the guidance of the old pope, it no longer discriminated too much against outsiders.

But I still try not to come here as often as possible.

"Now, Sakura," Asa said suddenly, "what are you going to do next?" ”

"Huh? Afterwards? ”

"I mean, after going to an orphanage!"

"Huh? I want to go back early! ”

"But there's still half of the holiday left!"

"Enough rest - Sister Cana would have gone crazy with paperwork without me! Also, don't you want to give that one to your father as soon as possible? ”

"Then don't be in such a hurry! Your father gave him two months' leave! - He must not be in a hurry. Besides, you can't keep up with Jana's temperament! She's the head of the regiment now. ”

"Well, too. "What about ......," I looked down and thought for a moment, and asked, "Asa, do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Hey, hey! Do you want to go to Northridge? ”

"Northridge?"

"Yes! If you pass from here, you will be there in four days! Asa looked excited, "You haven't been there yet, have you?" Our snow-capped mountains are so beautiful! And the imperial city of Dolanar at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is also very beautiful! ”

"Asa ......"

"Huh?"

"Tell you the truth!"

"How do you feel Sakura, you've been getting more sensitive lately? I'm telling the truth! ”

"Huh? What about the heart? I took a step forward and gave a long and deliberately long sigh.

"Uh...... All right! All right! Did I say no? Asa rubbed her nose with an embarrassed expression, "My mom wants me to find a girl who can control me, I wonder if Sakura can you meet my mom when you go to Northridge—"

“……”

"It's not me!" Seeing that my face sank, Asa hurriedly defended, "It's not me! It's my brother! My brother reported it to my mother—"

"Asa."

"Huh?"

"How long have you been planning?"

"Ugh! Not long? -- From the time your father gave us two months of vacation. ”

"Oh—why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It's not that it's not ripe - wow! Why are you hitting me?! ”

"Nonsense! Do you think the time is now?! I angrily punched the bastard in front of me, "I've said that a long time ago!" It's just that all the men in the world are dead, and people won't look for you as a pervert! ”

"But you weren't ...... that day"

"That's when I saw you dying, I sympathized with you!" I felt blush at the mention of that day, and I didn't feel that the outstretched fist was a little heavier, "People don't have a good impression of you!" ”

"Yes! Be! Wow! Wow! It hurts to death! Asa clutched his head in pain, "All right! All right! Just do me a favor, okay? Go see my mom, she's always — "

"Don't go!"

"Go! Northridge is fun! ”

"I said it! Don't go! ”
